Scotland, a place I call my own,
With rolling hills where wild winds have blown,
Misty mornings in a gentle embrace,
In every corner, I find a trace.

Blue blood runs through these ancient lands,
Proudly we stand with our clan’s strong hands,
In tartan wraps and with bagpipes tune,
Under the watch of a silver moon.

The thistle blooms where the brave hearts tread,
With stories of heroes long since fled,
Breathtaking scenery, a painter’s dream,
In every valley, a soft, silent scream.

No Scotland, no party, the saying rings clear,
For joy is a treasure when friends gather near,
With laughter and warmth, our spirits entwine,
In the heart of this land, where stars brightly shine.

The echoes of laughter on cobblestone streets,
In pubs filled with love, where friendships complete,
Each stranger a Neighbour, each smile a grace,
In the heart of this kingdom, I’ve found my place.

From Highland to Lowland, the beauty astounds,
In forests and glens where the spirit surrounds,
The history whispers in the winds that do wail,
In every stone’s story, a rustic tale.

Oh Scotland, my heart beats in rhythm with thee,
In every sunrise, I feel wild and free,
A land of deep roots, where my soul finds it way,
In this tapestry woven, I'll forever stay.

So raise up your glass to the hills and the skies,
To friendships that flourish and never say goodbyes,
For in this embrace, I am never alone,
In Scotland, the place I proudly call home.
I don't even know what to say,
Being this happy,
feels like a fever dream,
like I could do anything.

I feel like I deserve to live,
to do things,
to even have fun.

You don't know what you've done,
just by being in my life.
You've done more than make me feel human.
You make me feel relaxed,
beautiful,
and this feeling,
of heavenly happiness.
I never want it to go away.
I feel so happy and free I can't even describe it. So, if you understand this, I'm happy for you <3
I didn’t know how much I wanted to be a mother,
Until I met the man who would be a fantastic father.

Now I’m waiting for you little one to bring meaning to my life.

In my most vulnerable time

I must have pretended that I was in the know.

Like I’d have the power to decide, if I was a mistake that God “forgot”.

God never forgets or makes mistakes.

God is bigger than my decisions and thoughts.


I am…

good at my job

really funny

empathic and kind to a fault, though working on limits

a real fighter and I learn from experience


I do matter and I am awesome.

That is a statement given to me from me.

And that’s not something I’ve been able to easily say or write before

It was an unthinkable thought,
a word I wasn’t worthy to feel or say.
But I do have worth in this world.


Now.. (This is more a reminder to myself)

Having a more healthy mind doesn't mean I have to always be happy or live perfectly.

It just means that I can handle situations and feelings a bit more easily and my lows will hopefully not be as low as before.


Love, Me
Progress
I’ll share this photograph of my parents with you.
It’s like an old wine overflowing time, still new.
They’re eighteen and twenty-four, in their best poor clothes,
Posing under an olive branch on a Roman road.
The picture is classically imbued; they, permeated
By natural light like actors in a neorealist film
Embraced in some final frame of desperate justice.
The photograph arrests the wind of the day, that moment,
Blowing blades of blurring grasses into living inertia,
Light pregnant even in the stones and shadows;
And there’s something more, something magical,
Beyond youth and beauty, a divinity being born,
Cupid bending the olive branch, the arrow flown.
Get up and groove.
Get up and dance.
Have some fun,
come on, give it a chance.

Listen to the beats,
as you dance on the street.
Dance with your friend,
I know you wish it would never end.

More join in,
do a couple spins,
laughing among us all,
as all the negativity falls.

We keep on going,
until we're all too tired to move.
but, our hearts keep going,
still going with the groove.
I hope we can all come together,
and continue to dance,
not just through our bodies,
but through our poems.
I'm high in the sky,
looking down on the past,
remembering all the pain.
Seeing how it changed me.

Then, I look all around me,
and see all of us together,
a flock of friends.
We all look at peace.

I look down again,
but this time I see their pain,
not mine.

I fly down,
giving them,
the love they always needed.
When I finally see them smile,
or even just relieved of it all,
I fly away.

When I look down for the last time,
I see them all happy and free,
me along with them,
as we all fly along.
Thank you to everyone who has made this smile on my face. Thank you all for listening to me through the good and bad. I hope I can return the same love back to you.
I dive in,
becoming the main character.
I see a world,
so beautiful and blinding,
tears dripped down.

But, I was smiling.

I looked around me,
taking it all in,
wishing it could last forever.

But, as I went deeper and deeper,
it was time to come out again,
back into reality.
Though my reality might not be as perfect,
it's just as beautiful,
I realize,
as the story ends.
Let the story's make your imagination go crazy,
because, in the end,
those moments keep your wonder going,
keeping the child inside,
free to roam.
I am still a work on
progress,                                                        ­                      
                                          ­                                                                 ­       
some mistakes but no
regrets                                                          ­              
                                                  ­                                                            
Pushed myself through the
unknown,                                                         ­       
                                                                ­                                                 
 proud of this person &, how I've
  grown                                                         ­     
  I hold my head up, stand up
  straight                                                      ­                      
                                                                ­                                                  
doing my best, no inner debates                                                          ­            
                                                    ­                                                                
No excuses made as I forge ahead                                                      
                                                                ­                                        
Learning & changing everyday                                                         ­                 
                                                                ­                                              
loving myself, I'm on my way
